Scott Thompson is a traitor that wanted to go home to mummy. Should never be included as an honorary Demon. Completely f****D us over - particularly when we nurtured him through a lot of injuries.

I for one am glad that this crop of players is leaving the game. Makes me sick that we haven't had any elite players for a decade (Neitz excluded). I fully expect some our current talent to get there.

Karma I guess for screwing over Freo wih White, and exceeding the salary cap in the process.

A huge amount of talent and characters will leave the game this year:

• Hodge
• Gibson
• Mitchell
• Johnson
• Murphy
• Priddis
• Reiwoldt
• Boyd
• Scott Thompson
• ...and a few more to come before EOS

I don't think there has been a year like this for retiring champions:  Brownlows, Norm Smith medals and Premierships galore! A decade or two of captaincy.  Great on field Generals.  And, if I counted them close to 2,500 games! 

Some played fairer than others but they have been the elite of their generation.  While from opp teams their skills have been great to watch (I often looked on with envy...)

I'm not sure who the next generation of elite players will be - hopefully a few from the Demons!

In the meantime, I thought it worth acknowledging the impact and contributions of these champs. 

They have provided a pretty good show!

faaarrrk I head that moron Robbo eulogising Jobe (again) saying that he would go into the Hall of Fame perhaps not this year but next year. 

He is a convicted drug cheat you idiot! Let alone never won a flag or a Brownlow or a Norm Smith etc etc. How Robbo maintains a job is beyond me.

He's cheap - that's how.
